Tor hours this dance was kept UP. till
the eye wearied OF following their swift.
whirling movements. Finally there was
short interval; and then began the
''medicine dance" Emerging from the
shadowy easement tall, bent figure ap-
peared, supported on either eide. Led TO
a low seat prepared for him within the
circle of light. the poor creature sank
into il half unconscious, while the men Of
the tribe to which he belonged formed
themselves into line.
First came the two medicine men,
Cole and Ustane, full of the dignity Of
their Office. wearing the medicine jacket
and cap. One Of them carried small
tomtom, accompanying himself on this
as he chanted the medicine song, a
curious, monotonous measure; then
came the chief, walking alone, followed
by the rest Of the men two abreast. After
these came the women, and last Of all the
children. The most perfect order pre-
vailed, the march around the invalid
being performed in utter silence. except
the low muttering Of the medicine men
and the occasional shrill, mockiug cries
of the dancers, who, running beside the
line, looked and acted like evil spirits.
The marching was continued until
from out the line a medicine woman ad-
vanced, and walking up to where the
sick man lay began her chant. Neird
and unearthly she looked in the lin
light, her swarthy face, half hidden by
masses Of black hair, lifted 10 the starry
heavens, Her v,,ice, a veritable 'voix

air. Strangely impressed, noticed the
reverent faces and moving lips Of the In
dians around me. Who will dare 20 as
sert that their prayers To the Great
spirit, Of whom even We, except by
faith, can know 50 little. are worthless:
At length she stopped, stepping back into
her place in the line, while the march
was recommended.
This ended the medicine dance, the
invalid was removed and fresh relay OF
logs heaped on the fire for the last feature
Of the programme, dance in which all
the tribes join. In separate lines the men
and women stood facing each other.
Af,er a few preliminaries Of crossing
over and back each squw chose a brave,
being obliged TO dance with her partner
all the evening. This festivity is gener-
ally kept up till morning. and as il was
already well into the "wee slna' hours"
we decided not to wait for its termina-
tion, although politely urged To take
! part, an invitation we were strongly
tempted to accept.-St. Augustine fla

Splendid Specimens OF Indian Manhood.

As the mellow outlines of Fort Marion
came in view a ruddy reflection OF the
watchfire rose against the somber back
ground Of the sky, while shrill, wild cries
were heard mingled with the steady beat
Of the toIatom. Passing through the old
portcullis, rs we entered the courtyard
Of the fort curious scene presented itself.
From the ramparts above hundreds Of
figures were seen standing, sitting, in
every imaginable posture. Lining the
stone staircase, crouched in groups upon
the pavement Of the court, the rest OF the
spectators smoked, chatted and enjoyed
themselves. Occasionally the fire, heaped
with fresh logs, blazed up fiercely, giving
us chance 20 recognize some OF the dark
faces. Around il two dancers "hirled'
both splendid specimens OF Indian man
hood. The freight CLEANED ON Their
broad, naked chests, painted ana ta'tooNd q

On their heads were fastened curious
square head dresses. TO which pieces of
metal were attached; these changed and
Jared with every motion, while the face
was entirely concealed by thick woolen
mask. Tall. straight as an arrow, their
swift. supple movements showed the
great muscular power they possessed. BY
sharp, wild cries the tribe signiiied their
delight at any particularly daring act, as
when one OF the men leaned 30 far over

Professional Bondsmen.

The professional bondsman is one of the
evils difficult TO overcome that accom-
panies the present system of "bailing
out. These bondsmen form a set of
vampires Of the meanest and lowest class,
who are always ready to 60 bail for any
and all Of the unfortunate women locked
up in the calaboose. 1t makes no differ
ence whether or not they know them;
they take the risk, and usually do so
safely, as the persons released rarely fail
TO appear for trial. The bOndsman keeps
a pretty sharp eye on their whereabouts
until they do SO: but he requires some
thing more. The most exorbitant rates
Of interest are demanded for the money
loaned, For SIS and $50 deposited but
few hours at the police station they ex-
tort S., $40 and sometimes even SIS in
payment for their "disinterested' SER
vices. Something should be done to break
up the nefarious business OF these sharks.

range cattle 10 Chicago, and used the
stable cars from st. Paul. we have
learned some interesting particulars in
reference TO them. The cattle were
loaded into the stable cars at Minneso.
Ia transfer and contrary to expecta-
tions, no difficulty whatever was ex.
perieuced in loading. Seven head at
time were run into the chute and from
thence loaded into the car, and when
collected in one end the dividing gate
was slut on them. and another lot OF
seven run into the other end and par
titioned off. This left the middle of the
car with accommodations for another
lot OF seven, and when SO loaded, al.
though containing the average load OF
an ordinary stock car, each bunch oil
seven had ample room TO move around,
or lie down as II pleased them and In

ping the animals at the end Of each
partition had only to bear the weight
" seven head instead of twenty. odd
as in the old style cars. The result
was that on the trip from ~. Paul 10
Chicago no cattle got down, and there
WAS no jamming or bruising. The
facilities afforded by these cars fol
feeding while travelling were improv
ed by Mr.. Pickering. At st. Paul, be
put into each car 400 pounds of hay
which on arrival at Chicago he found
had been eaten up clean, thus putting
every animal into the yards with al
average Of twenty pounds of hay ia
him, and a desire to drink and hold q
good supply Of water. This, together
with the fact that the cattle were quiei
and contented insiea of being wild and
feyerish, helps amazingly to improve
the condition Of beef on the market an d
undoubtedly affects the price for the
better. In these days of low markets
1t behooves every shipper TO get his
cattle onto the market In the best
possible condition, and there seems ia
be no more certain way of doing
this than to use Streets Stable carr,
Mr.. Pickering is OF the opinion thai
II stock could be loaded from the rang'

Kindness and Charity should be Guided
by Prudenc~-Reereation aud Dress.


Again. do not be too kind to your rela-
tons. do not say that You should be
selfish or mean. but only prudent. Be-
fore lending money to. be used in their
business. see that the business is a safe
one; you may have the fullest confidence
in the honest intentions of the borrower,
but make sure that his capacity is to be
depended on. Many teachers give their
savings TO help in the education Of their
brothers. Here, too, charity should be
guided by prudence. Ii is no true kind
ness to help stupid boy to university
education. You had much better help
him in some other way. 1t is also bad
for him TO be allowed to take your saw
ings without any recOmpense. In most
cases you had better lend than give. The
knowledge that he must repay out Of his
future earnings, what he now spends.
will helpto keep him from extravagance.
And let all such transactions be con-
Quoted on a business footing; take re-
ceipts for your money and formal bonds
for repayment. An affection that would
think itself insulted by being asked 10 OBJ
serve such forms is very poor sort OF
thing.
Saving. as well as investing, should be
done in a common sense way. IL is
penny wise and pound foolish to stint
Yourself in food or firing Il have known
foreign teachers TO do this sometimes),
for the sake Of adding few pounds TO
your store. Live as simple as you like,
but take care 10 keep yourself as far as
you can in perfect health. Your health
Is part Of your capital, and on its preser-
walton depends our power Of supporting
yourself at all. Do not consider all recre-
ations us extravaganza; teachers often err
in the matter Of holidays, not giving
themselves any real rest or change, and
then wonder when they find themselves
losing their freshness and interest in their
ork-deteriorating in value, in fact.
Not only is this an injury TO themselves,
but also 10 their employers.
In dress, too, you are bound 10 keep
yourself tidy; IL your employers pay you
fair salary, they have right TO expect
TO find YOU fit to be seen. Too much
economy in this direction will only injure
you. Lastly, you may have opportuni-
ties Of improving yourself by going abroad
for time, or by attending classes ct
home. DO not lose such opportunifieu
from motives Of economy; they arc b.
vestments rather than spendinss. o.

SOME OF the newspaperssroI Virgil

that the number of men in that
State who lost arms, legs or eyes in
the Confederate service, increase so
rapidly. One would naturally think
that in the course of twenty years
some of the unfortunates would
have died. In 1886, the year after
the close of the war, the State ex-
pended for it's soldiers manned as
above, $40, 900, and last year it ex-
pended for them more than four
times as much, or $S3, 900. Il
would seem from this, that the
Il s imam : M men are not only immor-
tai, but are rapidly increasing.
Another twenty years at the same
rate Of increase, and Virginia will
again have to repudiate her debts.
